In both cases, a spokeswoman for the Bistro Group — the Cincinnati-based franchise owner of TGI Fridays’ Dayton-area restaurants — said lease negotiations were the primary factor in the decision to shut down.

This leaves only one TGI Fridays location in the Dayton-area left, near the Mall at Fairfield commons. There are no plans to shut down the remaining TGI Fridays restaurant, Daryl Beckles, human resource director for the Bistro Group, said.

“Our lease term came to an end, and due to rising real estate costs, we elected not to renew our lease,” Howard Cole, chief operating officer of Landry’s, Inc., the parent company of McCormick & Schmick’s, told this news outlet via email. “We value our employees, their dedication to our company and are working to relocate them.”
